Minecraft: 1.6 Update Overview! (Horses, Carpets, Hardened Clay & More!)

Hey guys answer them here and welcome back to another minecraft video and today we are going to be taking a look at the 1.6 pre-release this pre-release is due to come out on July 1st and is going to have all of the features that have been featured in these snapshots

Ever since the 1.5 release which is quite a few features which is gonna take me a fair amount of time to cover in this snapshot but I’m going to do the best that I can I do ask though that you excuse the background noise that I have because I’m

Currently not at home while recording this so the audio quality may not be as good as you guys are accustomed to but anyways without any further ado let’s go ahead and let’s launch right into it horses are a new passive mob that can be tamed and written in the way that you

Tame said a horse that you find is you just go ahead and you right click on it and the horse is gonna kick you off a couple of times but when the horse has been tamed while you’re on it it’s going to show a whole bunch of hearts all

Around it then then from that point you can go ahead and you can shift right click on the horse itself in which you can add a regular saddle it’s just the same old saddle as normal or you can find them in dungeons and then you can also add different types of armor which

Can also be found in dungeons there’s iron armor gold armor and diamond armor and then if you go ahead and you do that BAM it has the armor on then you can go ahead and you can right-click on them here and if I go ahead and I switch into

Survival mode here on the bottom right there you can see the horses health which is at 11 and if I go ahead and I start writing here I’m not sure no it’s not gonna break the leash okay leash be broken okay it is time for us to be free

So the meter that is on the bottom right is a jump meter and the way that you jump with a horse is you go ahead and you hold the spacebar and then you want to let go when the jump meter is within that place so if you let go a little

Early the jump is going to be a bit low but horses by default can also go above you know they can they’ll automatically climb one block ledges like this so that is pretty awesome but yeah so and I think the highest a horse can jump is something right around three blocks or

So donkeys are functionally fairly similar to horses in that they can be tamed in pretty much the same way and you can add a saddle on them pretty much the same way but a main difference is that you can go ahead and you can add a

Chest onto the back of them in there if you have a chest in hand you can shift right-click to add the chest onto them and then you shift right-click on the donkey itself and as you can see there is no armored option but you can store

You know just as much as you want in here up to 15 items and it is awesome and stuff and there are also mules as well which are a breed between horses and donkeys and they have sort of a mixed usage thing you can add a chest to

The back of a mule but they look a little bit more like horses if that’s something that you’re interested in and horses something that I need it didn’t know it before is that there are somewhere between like 30 some-odd variations of horses that you can you know find naturally leads are an item

That allow you to tether a mob to a fence post and they are crafted in this whip this manner just like this and then what you need to do it doesn’t matter if they’re tamed or not you go ahead and you right-click on the mob and then you

Can drag them around as such and if you want to tie them to a fence post you just right-click on once you have the mob grab your right-click on a fence post and bam the mob is going to stay still and again as I said before you can

Do this with pretty much any mob including those cows that are hanging from those fence posts hilariously like that name tags which currently do not have a crafting recipe but can be found in nether strongholds and dungeons are used to rename mobs in order to display

A name above the said mobs head and the way that you act you you actually use them is you take them into an anvil and then you rename them and I actually have to go into creative mode in order to rename this nametag here because I do

Not have the levels for it but anyways let’s just go ahead and let’s do this here let’s just let’s see here what should we name the pack mule you know just because I am not really that creative at this particular moment in time I’m just going

To go ahead and I’m gonna name it pack mule there we go sweet CL and then what you do is you go ahead and you just right-click on the mob itself and bam it is now named pack mule and you can also rename already renamed mobs as well so

Now this horse here is also pack mule even though that doesn’t make any sense but anyways there you go so there’s a bunch of new blocks that were added into the game among the first ones here are the new carpet blocks and the way that

They are crafted is you take any two of the same color wool and you place them next to each other in a crafting grid and you get yourself three carpet blocks and it actually makes them more efficient of a block to use than wool themselves because you get three items

Back for the two that you you and the main reason that you would might want to use a carpet in your house is to have a different color floor than the ceiling of the floor below it so if you want to have like a wood ceiling on the

First floor but you want to have wool on the second floor and you don’t want to use a second layer to do it because houses can look a little bit derpy if you do that then you can go ahead and you can now use the new carpet block and

Carpets can be stacked on top of each other and can in fact be stacked on top of any block even things like water blocks what is that donkey doing over there but anyways they can be stacked on things like torches and fences to create some really nifty little like you know

Tables here and I’m not sure if that was an intended effect but I can jump on top of the carpet like that and then get on top of the fence but anyways so again as I said before you can also stack them on top of other carpets which cause them to float like

This but if you destroy the carpet that is on the bottom then it will cause it to pop out and it can also be used to destroy things like gravel and fall are falling gravel and sand just like that another new block that has been added in

Our hay bales and they can be crafted I didn’t actually put the items in the chest here but all you need to do is you need to put nine nine pieces of wheat into a crafting into a crafting bench here and then you get them and they can

Be placed just like this and they can also be placed sideways you know just like tree trunks can and they are used in order to feed horses and mules are in donkeys and mules another new block that was added in is the new hardened clay block and the way that you actually

Craft them is that you put clay blocks into here which is used which is also created by placing in into a little crafting grid right here well what should right be right here anyways don’t you guys think that when you’re in creative mode but anyways by placing a

2×2 area of the little clay balls you place them in and then you get a clay block and then if you cook that you get hardened clay and then the way that you get the various different colors of hardened clay here are basically what you do is you take eight hardened clay

And then you put a color in the middle and then you get eight of the various stained clay and there is one color for every single you know like fur for every wool block that there would be there is one color of these plus one for the actual hardened clay itself so yeah

Another block that was added into the game is blocks of coal and then you just take you know nine pieces of coal just like this and you put them into a crafting bench and then you get a block of coal and blocks of coal are actually more efficient than call themselves whereas

You can they will cook for 800 seconds straight rather than 720 seconds which would be the equivalent of nine coal so yeah definitely something that you want to be crafting with and is a good alternative to buckets of lava so that’s pretty much gonna do it for our quick

1.6 release overview this wasn’t really an all-inclusive video that was going to include every single detail but as you guys can see on screen there there’s a bunch of more details that I you know felt like I wanted to edit into the video to let you guys know about and as
